IMPROVEMENT IN PRESERVE-JARS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,851, dated February 20, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, A. QUARLES Wrrnnns, of Holly Springs, in the county of Marshall, and State of Mississippi, have invented an Improved Grlass Fruit and Preserve Jar; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull and exact description thereof.

The nature of my invention consists in making fruit and preserve jars of such colors of glass as will exelude or tr a n s n 1 i t the fewest of the chemical a'ctinic ra s of light. for the purpose of preventingqi'iy efi'nentation of the fruit or other substances to be preserved inside, which all are more or less liable to, even with the most perfect exclusion of atmospheric air or oxygen from the jars.

The colors most perfectly fulfilling this purpose are yellow, orange, and red; and I prefer to use either one or all of them, though ap- Witnesses:

W. H. Vrox, S. W. BONNER.
